TUE 26 JAN · TIME: 8 PM · CROSSING THE BRIDGE –
A FILM BY FATIH AKIN

from january 2010 on, every last tuesday of a month selected films will be screened at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE in cooperation with the goethe institute korea. the selection of films introduces a wide range of subjects from the world of subcultures.

in his music/travel/documentary film “crossing the bridge”, award winning director fatih akin leads the audience to the different faces of istanbul’s music scene. alexander hacke (of the german avantgarde band “einstürzende neubauten”) roams the streets of istanbul to assemble an inspired portrait of turkish music. his voyage leads to the discovery of a broad spectrum ranging from modern electronic, rock and hip-hop to classical "arabesque". as he wanders through this seductive world, alex collects and tracks impressions by artists such as neo-psychedelic band baba zula, fusion DJs orient expressions, rock groups duman and replikas, turkey’s fastest rapper ceza, breakdance performers istanbul style breakers, digital dervish mercan dede, the "elvis of arabesque" orhan gencebay, and legendary divas müzeyyen senar and sezen aksu.

review of SHOWCASE REBOOT vol. 8

on jan 21, the opening of showcase vol. 8 was held at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE. this time, heidi j. boisvert, orcfinga, do young jun, and visualozik presented their bright ideas through clever execution.

honney and udo welcoming artists and audience of the night. On the left-hand, orcfinga is awaiting to give a brief intro of the work.









do young jun’s 'watermelon samurai' engaged much attention as the witty combination of cruel motion and cartoon-flavored watermelons creates a sense of apprehension. the patterns look so real!































paintings of orcfinga consist lively lines and exuberant colors. these exaggerated features have their own characteristics.

























have a chance to look at very interesting projector-based projects by visualozik. the group aims to blur the separation between projected image and object/space.













there's also the computer game 'ICED! I Can End Deportation' displayed. cyber-experience of precarious immigrant living with the constant threat of detention, and deportation... such an edutainment!

SHOWCASE REBOOT VOL. 8

THU 21 JANUARY . TIME: 07:00 PM

new artists will present their works in the showcases on the first floor!

HEIDI J. BOISVERT
heidi j. boisvert is a new media artist, experimental filmmaker, writer and educator whose work excavates issues of mental colonization and the variegated ways in which organized power threatens independent action and thought. at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE she presents “ICED! I Can End Deportation”, a 3d rpg game that was developed in cooperation with human rights organization breakthrough. ICED! enables the player to inhabit the precarious day-to-day experiences of an immigrant living with the constant threat of detention, and deportation.

ORCFINGA
orcfinga, a member of the supacrqs crew, is a painter and illustrator. his paintings depict characters, often with exaggerated features that in combination with the concentrated use of colors transmit an instant impact on the viewer.

DO YOUNG JUN
do young jun’s “watermelon samurai” is a set of scultpures. the setting shows a samurai just after a fight, pieces of chopped-up enemies around him. the fact that the samurai as well as his victims are watermelons adds a cartoon-like flavour to the scene that after a while provokes a feeling of uneasiness.

VISUALOZIK
in their projector-based projects, visualozik works towards a visual perception that overcomes the separation of projected visuals and the space and objects involved in the setting. the rhythm-oriented approach of their abstract minimalist aesthetics are the perfect basis for collaborations with electronic musicians like quandol and ujn&nova.
